Pneumatic tools are among the most frequent consumers of compressed air in industry and the crafts. There are large numbers of them in almost every environment.

They generally require a working pressure of 6 bar however, there are versions that use other working pressures, depending on the application and the performance required. In these cases the consumption of compressed air will differ from the levels shown in the table.

The following table gives reference values for consumption of compressed air by a number of pneumatic tools. These values may vary for individual tools and should be regarded as averages.
